The Crumpet recipe is the best I've tried...and I've tried alot! The pea and mint fritters are a triumph! The recipes are interesting and varied, not complicated and the writing style is easy going...a keeper for the collector of cookery books!

This isn't just a recipe book - its a sort of 'bible' for those who, like me, enjoy entertaining but always end up in a state of complete chaos 10minutes before the guests arrive. That said, the recipes look fantastic (haven't tried any yet, as I only got my copy this morning, but I can't wait to get cracking). I'm a fan of Felicity's column so probably should declare an interest, but her prose is beautiful to read, whether she is simply describing how to beat an egg, or gentling bidding the reader that preparation is key to success.Big thumbs up from me - over a hundred recipes and lots of good advice.
